'Rahaman has, at last, written the definitive biography on his late
brother, which tells the real Ali story' - Mike Tyson 'The real

Unlike any other biography on Muhammad Ali' - Fox Sports More words
have been written about Muhammad Ali than almost anyone else. He
was, without doubt, the world's most-loved sportsman. At the height
of his celebrity he was the most famous person in the world. And
yet, until now, the one voice missing belonged to the man who knew
him best - his only sibling, and best friend, Rahaman Ali. No one
was closer to Ali than Rahaman. Born Cassius and Rudolph Arnett
Clay, the two brothers grew up together, lived together, trained
together, travelled together, and fought together in the street and
in the ring. A near-constant fixture in his sibling's company,
Rahaman saw Ali at both his best and his worst: the relentless
prankster and the jealous older brother, the outspoken advocate,
the husband and father. In My Brother, Muhammad Ali, he is able to
offer a surprising insider's perspective on the well-known stories,
as well as never-before-told tales, painting a rich and intimate
portrait of a proud, relentlessly polarizing, yet often vulnerable
man. In this extraordinary, poignant memoir, Rahaman tells a much
bigger and more personal story than in any other book on the great
man - that of two brothers, almost inseparable from birth to death.
It is the final and most important perspective on one of the most
iconic figures of the last century.
